Sound Travels the world; and this week we're all about Italia as Festa Italiana gets going this weekend amid the hotness that has become Milwaukee's weather. So tady I had a batch of Italian composers whose work I will not ignore...or at least didn't. From Ennio Morricone, of spaghetti western fame, having scored what seems to be a majority of them; to the godfather of not only Italodisco, but perhaps also electronic music, Giorgio Moroder. Also some throw-ins from Piero Umiliani and Nino Rota just for a fuller set. If you missed it, here's what I had today...
